Wizard Skull’s “Re-Animator” Takes an Edgy Twist to Classic Cartoons

When Brooklyn artist Wizard Skull got ahold of a few original animation cels from classic cartoons like The Smurfs and My Little Pony, he of course had to put his own unique spin on them–a spin that includes raunchy debauchery, low brow humor, and tongue-in-cheek playfulness. His series Re-Animator, currently on display at Cotton Candy Machine, is Saturday morning cartoons with a twist, a bizarre world where Care Bears like to twerk, where smurfs get high, and where the Hulk can’t stop humping things. One animation cel at a time, Wizard Skull destroys our childhood.
